The NeXTComputers.org Forum rules were designed to provide a positive environment for exchanging information and ideas on everything NeXT. We have no intention of running the forums like Boot Camp, but without rules these forums would degrade to the level of Usenet. So please help us maintain the NeXT best place to hang out.

Thanks,

The NeXTComputers.org administration team.
